We learned a little bit more about Nicky Beloko's brief sojourn in Austin, and quite a bit about why Austin FC's sporting director didn't bring in more players during the summer transfer window.
In which I answer mostly soccer questions at the end of this break in the Austin FC season.
With Brandon Vázquez now out, who will take the center forward minutes, and who will score goals?
Brandon Vázquez now has a third of the goals that Sam Surridge does; Nico Estévez explained his selection process as part of an eventful Wednesday.
Brad Stuver and Brandon Vázquez will represent Austin FC at the 2025 MLS All-Star Game, which will be staged at Q2 Stadium on July 23.
Robert Taylor won't play Saturday, but will perhaps help Austin achieve a duality Nico Estévez suggests might be borne of desire, which is the root of all suffering (but not quite in those words).
Five clean sheets. Five wins, four by a 1-0 margin. That's good for second in the West ... but what does it mean for a Verde squad still thinking it can do better?
Finally, a goal from open play! That sent Verde on the way to a win and rising to second place in the West.
Verde had an anemic offense in 2024. Could they be headed for a similar fate in 2025?
The new year started with some new impact signings and ended with a bold take on preseason.
Austin FC's newest striker met the media today, and sporting director Rodolfo Borrell also weighed in about the difficulty of making the deal to bring him in.
It's the first major cold front this winter, so of course fans hung outside the Fairmont Hotel to say hello to Austin FC's newest designated player.
